LATE

Schedule and manage social media posts across multiple platforms with LATE - the professional social media management platform supporting Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads

Actions18

Overview

The node integrates with the LATE social media management platform, enabling users to schedule and manage posts across multiple social networks such as Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. Specifically, the "Get" operation under the "Posts" resource retrieves detailed information about a single post by its unique identifier. This is useful for scenarios where you want to fetch the current status, content, or metadata of a scheduled or published post.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving the details of a specific post to display in a dashboard.
  • Checking the status or analytics of a post after scheduling it.
  • Using the post data to trigger further automation or reporting workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Post ID The unique identifier of the post to retrieve. This ID can be obtained from the "List Posts" operation or from the response when creating a post. It is required to specify which post to get.

Output

The output of this operation is a JSON object representing the detailed data of the requested post. This typically includes fields such as the post content, scheduling time, status, associated social profiles, and any metadata provided by the LATE platform.

If the node supports binary data (e.g., media attachments), it would be included accordingly, but based on the provided code and context, the primary output is structured JSON data describing the post.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LATE platform's API.
  • The node communicates with the LATE API endpoint at https://getlate.dev/api/v1.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Post ID: Since the Post ID is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect ID will likely result in an error. Ensure the Post ID is correctly obtained from previous operations or responses.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that the API key is correctly set up in n8n.
  • Network or API errors: Temporary network issues or API downtime may cause request failures. Retrying after some time or checking the LATE service status can help.
  • Permission issues: The authenticated user must have permission to access the specified post; otherwise, the API may return authorization errors.
